As our celebration of ‘Dangerously In Love‘s 10th birthday comes to an end, TGJ HQ got to thinking.

It may not always feel like it, but the last ten years have given the world no shortage of groundbreaking Pop classics.

From GaGa‘s ‘Pokerface‘ to Usher’s ‘Confessions’, Janet‘s ‘All For U’ to Drake‘s ‘The Motto‘, many an act has seen their cuts rise from potential hits to the soundtrack of many a summer-or in some cases- a lifetime.

So, putting genres lines aside, we’re asking you to name the one song you feel’s had the most impact on Popular culture and the world at large- released between January 1st 2000…and today!

After a week, we’ll pick the 20 cuts that are named the most in the comment section below and send those songs straight to the final, where you’ll be able to vote for your winner on That Grape Juice ‘Greatest Song of The Noughties’ poll.

As to keep the song’s buzz as high as possible this month, tonight saw Mariah Carey & Miguel release a ‘Spanglish’ remix to their collaborative hit ‘Beautiful‘.

Unfortunately, they could have really done without it.

For, in what really is an insult to the original cut, it’s far too easy to hear where Spanish lyrics have been copied and pasted onto the original audio- making for an uncomfortably cheap listen.
